遺伝子検査会社23andMeが経営難に陥り、バイオテクノロジー企業が買収を提案したことを受け、27の州とコロンビア特別区が同社を訴えました。この訴訟は、顧客の許可なく個人の遺伝子データが売られるのを防ぐことを目的としています。

オレゴン州司法長官のダン・レイフィールドは、プレスリリースで、生物学的サンプル、DNAデータ、健康に関する情報、医療記録といった個人データは、本人の明確な同意なしに販売されるべきではないと述べました。

2006年に設立された23andMeは、唾液を使ったDNA検査キットを顧客に提供し、祖先や遠い親戚を見つける手助けをしています。しかし、2021年に株式を公開して以来、同社は利益を出すビジネスモデルを見つけるのに苦労しており、今年3月には従業員の40%を解雇し、連邦破産法第11条の適用を申請しました。

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, which plans to buy the company for $256 million, has promised to follow 23andMe's privacy policies and all relevant laws. An independent consumer privacy ombudsman is currently looking into the proposed purchase and how it might affect consumer privacy.
